With a delicious range of artisan breads, hand made pastries, Bavarian pretzels and authentic pizza; Button Bakery has opened in South Evanston. Owners Sara Rathbun and Oran Rankin, having relocated to Evanston from Michigan, felt that their part of Evanston needed a community bakery and were very fortunate to have found the perfect location at 729 Main Street. The historic storefront perfectly complements the deep traditions from which Button Bakery draws.
Oran has over 30 years baking experience and enjoys providing delicious breads to his customers. An important part of his philosophy is keeping his breads as affordable as possible. “We seek to provide breads for families, week in and week out.”
Besides the full line of breads the owners of Button Bakery claim to make the “best scone you will ever have”, a pretzel that is sure to be the favorite of any true pretzel lover, and a pizza that will make their South Evanston community proud to claim as their own.
Evanstonian Kate Schaefer has joined Button Bakery as Pastry Chef, Kate fondly remembers walking to Judy’s Bakery (now Trattoria D.O.C.) as a child and is delighted that Main Street again has a community bakery. She is in charge of the delicious selection of scones, muffins, cookies, brownies, lemon bars and raspberry squares. The exceptional cannolis and the sublime coconut macaroons. The weekends bring opulent carrot cake and the delightful Button Cookies beautifully decorated by Kate’s assistant, Megan.
Button Bakery is open from 7:00 AM through 7:00 PM Tuesday through Saturday. Sara points out that. “metered parking is free until 8:00 AM in the lot right next door, making it ideal for those picking up goodies for the office and for early bird shoppers.”
